part of the world has the cultivation of
the rose come so near perfection rs in
this small State, and although the soil
and atmosphere of the country have
much to do with the success Of the work,
the native inhabitants have made such a
long and careful study Of the plant and
/ its needs that they have created wonders
out of their fields of blooming roses. As
is well known, the flowers are grown
there for the purpose Of extracting the
! precious aroma known as lotto of Rose"
but this circumstance does not detract in
the least from the appearance of the roses;
The bushes require considerable care and
attention, and they are seldom allowed
to attain height of over six feet.
In the great rose gardens, where the
flowers are raised for manufacturing the
lotto of Rose, " the bushes are seldom
grated or budded. The roots forming
the bushes of young rose garden are
taken from the old bushes and carefully
buried with plenty of manure, where they
send up young shoots. These reach their
full growth IN about five years, and for
fifteen years will yield large crops of
roses. When an old bed begins TO fail
the bushes are cut away and new shoots
allowed to spring up, or the whole field
plowed up and roots from another bed set
out in their place. A successful rose
grower keeps several rose gardens at all
times in different stages OF development,
so that when one garden begins TO be IN
productive another one is about ready to
come in. The roses blossom in the latter
part of May, when all the neigiborhood
is employed in picking them and getting
them to the distillery.
In addition to the great industry Of
extracting the precious aroma from the
roses, the inhabitants of Bulgaria make
quite business Of exporting rose slips
and roots to different countries. The
facility with which the roses grow in the
fertile valleys of that country makes it
a profitable business to raise the bushes
for market The cuttings for buds are
sent hundreds of miles packed in long
grass and surrounded with straw disposed
longitudinally. But the particular rose,
from which the Otto of Rose is made,
the rosa moschata, cannot be grown with
much success in any other part of Europe.
/ Attempts have been made frequently to
cultivate it in the south of France, but
all such experiments have proved
failure. The slips and roots of the
bushes are sent TO different parts of
Europe, where the rose is grown in some
of the principal public gardens. The
aroma is so sweet that it will scent up the
whole room if kept in doors. and will
even impregnate the outside atmosphere
of garden with its penetrating odor.-
